John did a wonderful job as your wedding photographer. He was very professional, hardworking, and had a great eye for creative and beautiful shots. We couldn't be happier with the final product - he delivered gorgeous, amazing photos that captured our entire wedding day. He's also got a great personality and he's easy to work with. The day of our wedding, the photo taking was very easy and smooth, and he gave good direction. Our photos were delivered on time and according to contract and his prices were very reasonable. We interviewed 8 photographers and John outshined them all and we're so happy we chose him! Hire him and you won't be dissapointed.

John was fabulous. Not only were the pictures absolutely gorgeous (and I wasn't the only one who thought so - my entire family thinks that every photo he took is their favorite!), but John was so easy to work with. He captured some of the most gorgeous shots of me and my new husband where the shadow created by the two of us forms a little heart on the ground. He placed us exactly in the light of the setting sun and we were just illuminated against the dark background. He does wonders with lighting whether its low lighting like in a night club or at sunset. When we went around town to take pictures with the bridal party, he took charge and made the experience unforgettable! I would recommend him to everybody and anybody who wants a stellar photographer for their special day. And he was quick to get us our pictures back!

John was a fantastic photographer. He took beautiful pictures that really captured the feel of our wedding. He was great before, during and after the wedding, communicating with us the entire time. He blended in with our guests the day of and took all of our suggestions right away. We had a fantastic time with him! He has been great since the wedding too. He got our pictures to us really quickly and they turned out fantastic. He also gave us a DVD and released the rights to our pictures right away so we could make our own prints and picture books.We sprung for the photo booth and it was more than worth it. We have fantastic pictures of all of our guests that are funny and original. I highly recommend the photo booth, it was one of the best parts of our picture collection.

I cannot adequately express how wonderful it was to have John as our wedding photographer. He is kind, smart, thorough, talented and funny. Oh, and he takes amazing photographs! Everyone at the wedding raved about John's work. At our venue, there was a back porch, and unbeknownst to us, John had set up a self-portait section on the back porch, where our friends and family could click themselves and each other in addition to the professional photographs. An experienced photojournalist, John didn't just capture the standard wedding shaps. He captured truly intimate moments that we cherish.What are you waiting for? Hire him!

With John shooting my daughters wedding, I knew the photos would be spectacular. It was such a pleasure to have him at the wedding. His professional and unassuming nature puts everyone at ease. His keen eye and visual style make his wedding photography a treat to enjoy for a lifetime. Johns photos tell the story of that magical day. You only get one shot at wedding photos. Hire John and relax.

I couldn’t say enough wonderful words about John! He fit in with my bridal party and family with ease. He blended in to take phenomenal candid shots and directed all of us quickly for beautiful group shots. John also suggested a “Photo Booth” for our guests to take photos during the reception, it was a HUGE hit! John took all of my input and created the wedding photos I had always imagined. That day when by in a whirlwind, but I am able to enjoy my wedding day again and again by looking through the incredible photos. I am so thankful that I had John as my photographer and you will be too!

When I saw my wedding day photos for the first time, it was like reliving moments of my special day all over again and the pleasant surprise of seeing those moments that I had simply missed because I was the overwhelmed Bride that day. The pictures captured every aspect of my wedding, including images of my groom and his attendants getting ready, my pre wedding moments with family and attendants, the ceremony, the reception, and our exit.

John was able to come up with images that were so creative and artistic, things that I hadn’t even thought of, but I’m so glad that he knew to capture as one of the many details of the day to remember forever.

I had an outdoor garden wedding, which transitioned to an outdoor evening reception, so the colors, lighting quality and his choice of background for the images were perfect.

The price was good; I was able to own the images with no strings attached. John was so professional, flexible and a real pleasure to work with through the entire process. His overall demeanor that day was fun, relaxed and calming when I needed that the most during my pre-ceremony shots.

The collection of images told perfectly the story of my wedding day and I couldn’t be more pleased with his work. I highly recommend John The Photographer.
